• Let it cool completely.
• Place the brownie on to a work surface and cut out hearts using a heart shaped cookie cutter.Keep aside.

• Place ice cream in a large bowl.Let stand at room temperature ,mashing well with a spoon in between until it is soft enough to stir.
• Line a baking tray with foil or plastic wrap and let it extend over the edges of the pan.Now spread the softened ice cream on the prepared pan .Level it using a spatula.

• Now arrange the brownie hearts over the ice cream layer and press it gently so that the top of the brownie is almost in level with the ice cream layer.

• Cover this with a cling film and freeze until firm.
• Cut into squares using a sharp knife and serve.

NOTES:

• Allow the brownie to cool completely before cutting out hearts from it ,to avoid  cracks on  top of the brownie hearts.
• I halved the recipe for thinner brownies.
• These brownie have more of a cake like texture.
